Comments: If it’s a product you use, but want to keep on the Q-T, chances are Combe sells it. The company is home to some of the self-professed “most personal personal care products in the world.” Its stable includes Just for Men and Vagisil as well as Aqua Vela, Brylcreem, Lectric Shave, and Sea Bond.

Several Just for Men SKUs feature AirActiv Technology, which Combe describes as the first and only oxygen-activated formula that can’t over-color, preserving the natural variations in your hair.

Christopher B. Combe, who is chairman of the company his father started in 1949, currently sits on the board of directors of the Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA). He serves along side Zan Guerry, chief executive officer of Chattem and leaders from other well-known OTC healthcare firms.

But according to sources, Akshay Shetty and his wife Keech Combe Shetty—daughter of the CEO—have taken on larger leadership roles in the day-to-day running of the company.
